Application filed June 30,

To all @c from t may concern Be it known that l, ELIZABETH G. Girare, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lockport, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have invented a nei and Improved Powder Puff. of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in powder puffs, an object of the invention being to provide a powder' puff which comprises a, receptacle for powder and which is provided with draw strings having applicator puffs at the ends of the draw strings. so that said applicator puffs can be enclosed within the receptacle when the latter is closed.

A further object is to provide a powder puff which is extremely ornamental and attractive in appearance and which embodies many features of advantage not heretofore known.

TWith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations, and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the v claims.

ln the accompanying drawings- Figure l. is a perspective view showingA the powder puff in open position.

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the powder puff in closed position.

Figure 5% is a view in longitudinal section.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary view in side elevati on illustrating the manner of connecting the draw strings to the receptacle.

Figure 5 is a sectional view of one of the applicator puffs.

l represents a powder puff, which to distinguish the same from a pair of applicator puffs 2, l sh all hereafter refer to as the main powder puff. This main powder puff l is composed preferably of white or tinted wool, and to the skin S of the wool secure a ribbon 4, the ribbon being sewed to the edges of the skin as shown at 5 and the ends of the ribbon joined in any approved manner to form a powder receptacle 6.

The outer open end of the receptacle 6 1922. vSerial No. 571,964.

:is closed by a pair of draw strings 7 and 8.

These draw strings being laced through the selvage ofthe ribbon at a point below the edge thereof, so as to prevent the necessity of providing a seam and also giving an ornamental finish to the material.

rlihe applicator puffs are secured to the ends of the draw strings 7 and 8 respectively so that they are in convenient position for `using the powderrin receptacle 6, the main tionj and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set' forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

l claim:

1, As a new article of manufacture, a main powder puff having a receptacle thereon of L.eXible material, draw strings for closing said receptacle.r and applicator puffs attbe ends of the draw strings.

2. As a new article of manufacture, 'a

main powder pulf having a receptacle thereon of flexible material, draw strings for closing said receptacle, applicator pus constituting anchorsat the ends of the draw strings, said applicator puffs adapted to be confined within the receptacle when the latter is closed by the draw strings whereby said draw strings function as supporting loops on the main powder puff. l

3. A device of the character stated,`com prising a powder puff having a skin backing, a receptacle of flexible material secured to' the skin backing, draw strings laced through the flexible material, and applicator puffs at the ends of the draw strings.
